Several sites have been identified in Seberang Perai as Park and Ride station for this purpose. The Penang State Government will launch the first Park & Ride station at Bandar Sunway on 1^st March 2011.

The express service will depart from Bandar Sunway to FIZ area in the morning and return from FIZ area to Bandar Sunway in the evening. The operating period for the express service is as follows:

Morning session : 5. 30 am to 8.10 am

Evening session : 4. 30 pm to 7.30 pm

Car parking is available around Sunway Carnival Mall. Factory personnel can park their vehicles anywhere around this area and board the express service to Bayan Lepas FIZ. The express service will cover almost FIZ 1,2,3&4, Technoplex and BLIP. This express service is provided free of charge.

The objective of this service is to reduce congestion within the corridor of the proposed Park and Ride service particularly the roads leading to the factories. Apart form this, the State Government’s intention is to promote the use of public transport.

Penang-10 Islands to Explore Before You Die

Penang Listed as Top 10 Islands to Explore Before You Die

PENANG ISLAND has been listed among the world’s "10 Islands to Explore Before You Die" by internet company Yahoo! on its travel portal.

Yahoo Travel scoured the globe to find 10 islands that belong on your must list. Each of these places offers something that you can’t find anywhere else, from the largest man-made archipelago to hot springs so therapeutic they’ve been popular since Roman times.

If you're going to imagine yourself on an exotic island, dare to dream big!

Penang

Penang is proud to be one of the ten islands to explore. Other islands in the list are such as Bali, Vieques, Easter Island, Bora Bora and Palm Islands Dubai.
The portal cited the "fusion of cultures"  evident in Penang’s local architecture, which ranges from modern high-rises to buildings built by 19th-century British colonialists, and the mix of beach resorts, preserved mangroves, small fishing villages and a share of temples, mosques and churches, as key factors for selecting the island.
It also commented on the "food crawl" at stalls that crowd the streets of George Town. "The delectable fare on offer memorably mingles Malaysian, Chinese, Indian and European flavours," it said.

The accolade comes on the heels of ECA International having selected Penang as the 8th most liveable city in Asia last year.

According to Yahoo!, the 10 islands belong on a "must" list. "Each of these places offers something that you can’t find anywhere else, from the largest man-made archipelago to hot springs so therapeutic they’ve been popular since Roman times," it said.
